Horizons of Optics, Photonics and Emerging Sciences (HOPES) Webinar Series | Dr Liam O’Faolain

With this series, the IEEE UK and Ireland Photonics Chapter is taking a different approach to seminal webinars. Instead of focussing on a single piece of research and/or innovation, we invite highly impactful researchers to discuss the future of their research domains. This will allow the speaker to share their informed view of future innovations on a platform that encourages a true exchange for shaping the evolution of science.

We hope that in such discussions, unique solutions in pure and interdisciplinary domains can be unravelled.

Liam O’Faolain’s research group focuses on developing efficient lasers and innovative sensors based on nanophotonics and integrated photonics.

He spent 15 years at the University of St Andrews, before moving his research group to Cork Institute of Technology in 2016, see www.cappa.ie. He is the author/co-author of more than 100 journal papers.
